You may feel brash today, leading you to give in easily to impulses you might otherwise deny. Money, food, or leisure time can be the triggers that cause you to act impetuously, even when your intent was to act in accordance with your values. To combat this tendency toward haste today you will likely need to pause whenever presented with one or more choices. Though you may feel inexorably drawn to certain alternatives, consider whether you may be responding emotionally in a situation when rationality could serve you better. As time passes, your path of prudence will likely become much easier to tread today.

Spontaneity is typically fulfilling only in those situations in which we have prepared ourselves for any and all contingencies. Though this may seem counter-intuitive, it is a subtle truth that risks are most rewarding when undertaken thoughtfully and with a clear understanding of the potential outcomes. When we think and act with haste, we are ill prepared to face what lies ahead, and we may not be fully aware of how our choices will impact our existence in the long term. We can make the most of every crossroads we come to by considering our next steps carefully. Ultimately, a rashness of manner cannot stand against the knowledge that we are doing all we can to ensure that our lives will continue to unfold in a satisfying and predictable fashion. You impetuosity will be much diminished by your thoughtfulness today when you commit yourself to a path of conscientiousness.
